Previous Bournemouth vs Burnley Head-to-Head

Burnley 0-2 Bournemouth Bournemouth 2-1 Burnley Bournemouth 2-4 Burnley Burnley 0-2 Bournemouth Burnley 3-0 Bournemouth

Bournemouth will be going into this match with a higher level of confidence as they have been able to get the better for Burnley 3 times in the last 5 meetings. In these 3 wins they only conceded once and this will give them a boost as they know that if they manage to take the lead and score more than a single goal, Burnley are unlucky to come back and win the match. However, one issue is that they have lost and won when playing the last 2 home games vs Burnley and this could knock their confidence going into this as they know Burnley can win when they are playing at Bournemouth.

Burnley go into this game with some confidence having managed to win 2 of the last 5 matches and when they win, they manage to score a lot. While when losing they struggle to score, in their 2 wins they scored 7 goals in 2 games. This will give them a lot of confidence that they can cause issues for Bournemouth. They also know that they can get all 3 points when playing at the Vitality Stadium. They will be going into this optimistic that they can get a result.

Recent Bournemouth and Burnley Match Analysis

Bournemouth last 5 matches:

Bournemouth 2-2 West Ham (H) Premier League Sunderland 3-2 Bournemouth (A) Premier League Bournemouth 0-1 Everton (H) Premier League Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea (H) Premier League Manchester United 4-4 Bournemouth (A) Premier League

Some very worrying times for Bournemouth as they have gone winless in the last 5 matches and this extends to 7 matches since the last win. They will be hoping that this game can finally end that. The main issue that they have had in that they concede a lot of goals having conceded 10 goals in the last 5 matches. While 4 of them were in the last conceding 6 goals in 4 matches aren’t much better. However, this isn’t the most worrying part as they have only scored 2 goals in their last 3 home matches, and as this is a home match, they will be hoping that they can change this and finally get some form and home form back.

Burnley last 5 matches:

Burnley 0-2 Chelsea (H) Premier League Brentford 3-1 Burnley (A) Premier League Burnley 0-1 Crystal Palace (H) Premier League Newcastle 2-1 Burnley (A) Premier League Burnley 2-3 Fulham (H) Premier League

The worst form in the league currently and with this it is no shock that they sit in 19th place. They will be hoping that they can get themselves together for this game and take the chance while Bournemouth is in poor form to get a result. They have struggled at both ends of the pitch but defending especially conceding 11 goals in the last 5 matches and 5 of these coming from the 2 away games. Adding 5 conceded to only 2 that they scored, and they could be in a bit of trouble when playing Bournemouth especially as they have managed to score goals recently. They will need to hope that their defence can hold together while their attack tries to find a chance to take the lead to be able to get a result.

Key Players to Watch: Bournemouth vs Burnley

Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth): While he has struggled with form recently, he is still the main man and if he finds form so will Bournemouth. Having scored around about 30% of Bournemouth’s goals this season if he is in a dry patch, they will struggle, and this type of game is one Semenyo can use to find his form again and bounce back to scoring ways. So, if Bournemouth win expect him to have played a large part in it.

Quilindschy Hartman (Burnley): The full back has been one of the better players when going forward for Burnley having picked up 4 assists from left back. With 16 chances created he has shown that he can make some good chances and offer a creative spark when he is allowed to go forward. If Burnley want a result, they will need him to bring his creativity.
